The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea mega thrust earthquake of moment magnitude 9.0 that struck the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia on year ending December 26, 2004 at 00:58:49 UTC (07:58:49 local time in Jakarta and Bangkok). 

The earthquake triggered massive tsunamis which struck the coasts of the Indian Ocean. The death toll from the tsunamis and the resultant floods was reported to be approximately  100,000, with tens of thousands of people reported missing, and over a million left homeless.

The death toll may be particularly high due to the fact that this is the first time in over 100 years that a tsunami of the Indian Ocean has struck land, leaving the affected countries like Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Somalia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar (Burma), Tanzania, South Africa, Seychelles, Bangladesh, Kenya and Madagascar 
 unprepared and the people unable to recognize the telltale signs of an impending tsunami.

And so many countries' citizens have lost their lives, wounded and also lost their belongings, who were traveling abroad. 

The victims are suffering... 

Let us make them to have good life.

Let us pray our Almighty God 
to do some miracles 
to their lives,  
like the disaster done 
by the same God...!

Let us welcome New Year 2005 
with high hopes 
by living peaceful life 
with the Blessings of the God...!!
